I was on a drive when the album dropped so I was just listening to it when this song came on. I got about 45 seconds in before I pulled over and looked it up to see if there was a music video haha! Best decision ever!
I watched this when it debuted. I has no idea what I was in for, just excited to hear a new song. I was so engrossed in the story and the video that I still recall not even realizing how long the video was. When it finished I was just in awe. I’ve since watched the video and listened to the whole Clouds mixtape many times…but when I come back to this video, I continue to get chills and an adrenaline rush..I’ve never experienced something like this from a music video.
Everything NF does is so cinematic and enthralling... I've been a massive fan of his for years.. I always said if he decides to give up the music... I would love to see him as a director..
There's a line he says in I believe 'The Search' where it goes, "Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, its beautiful. Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos"
@@sideswipe8882 Exactly... His take on life and the complexity in which he delivers his story is amazing.. Story telling and self reflection. Amazing, beautiful and heartbreaking at times.
Something amazing about this song is that I first listened to it without the video, so the lyrics and his way of singing it are so on point that I could visualize the whole thing in my mind. But then, I watched the video, and it was everything I had pictured and more
I too, with this song, first heard the track then I finally watched the video. What I pictured in my head was on point to what the video showed.. Well done NF & crew!
Such a crazy video, showcasing NFs story telling and overall vision. Love your thoughts from a filmmaker pov. really interesting tidbits about how some stuff would be done
I love this song, because its not trying to be too large-scale. It's not a story about a perfect hero who's trying to save the world. It's about a relatable burn-out who just happened to be caught up in a life-changing event at a place she's probably been a million times. It's amazing to see her work the courage up to do something, which many people might not have done if in her situation. The way that some things tie together (like the friend's boyfriend), while also intentionally leaving loose ends is really cool, and makes it feel more realistic. The POV shots only help add to that, and this feels like something that anyone could be unfortunate enough to experience.
I also love how she went in to get cigarettes and that's one of the things the robbers were after. And that she considers changing her life, but again and again, she doesn't change (starburst, and that she can't afford to keep buying energy drinks but continues to bc she won't change. That life event hopefully changes her forever.
When he says (or pretty much yells) "here comes another guy!" I get the chills every time! He captures the panic and terror you'd feel in a situation like that so well. It's not easy to go in a recording booth and do this. People don't understand. You have to put yourself there in that moment mentally for it to sound authentic, and NF can do this in a way most artists cannot. His videos are always at LEAST 50% rap/50% cinematic, if not more cinematic than music sometimes! ✌️ His new song will blow your mind btw, it's called Hope.
Great reaction. This video had me mesmerized and engaged from the beginning to end. NF has a line in his music video for "The Search" where he says, "I don't know if I'm making Movies or music videos " genius 👏
NF is great with building layers and telling a awesome story. He not only touches those with his music but other skillsets that play in unison to his passions. Sooo Good.
I'm in my last semester of the university studying televison production assistant and we have to make a last shortfilm as an exam, I just found NF somewhere at the second half of 2022, and just became my favourite. Now I just found your channel and your videos inspires me so much very very grateful for the explanations it helps me understand how a video/film works. I got so motivated to make it but still struggling to make an exciting story that I can make it real 😄 Thank you very much for all of your work, keep it up, that's how I call quality content😁❤
His concerts are also very cinematic in my opinion and I was so glad I got to see him live in Michigan got some amazing pictures too! NF is amazingly mind blowing
Please tell me you are going to react to ALL of NF's videos? It is so refreshing getting a filmmakers perspective and explaining the filming techniques of his videos. Brings it full circle. I have gained a greater appreciation surrounding NF's ability to bring his art to life. Thank you for this and great reaction!
NF's stories(all his songs) are incredible and whoever shoots his videos, clearly, have his vision and dedication to details. Thanks for the reaction. It's awesome seeing a filmmaker react and get their insight.
Bro i genuinely love your “reactions” or “reviews” as an aspiring film maker it’s incredible to watch someone at your level get inspired and break down shots as well. Your demeanor is perfect to. I feel like i could watch you break stuff down all day. Thank you for bringing freshness to reaction channels
I've seen this video so many times and I'm always impressed with how the words are matched perfectly... Props to the actress. So glad you recognized that, too... I still get chills with this one.
Why and Leave me alone in my opinion, they have very good music videos, even though they are a year apart from the release, "Leave me alone" seems like a continuation of the "Why" video, so I would like to see your review. However, next I recommend one of NF's most emotional songs entitled ,,How Could You Leave Us?"
I've watched this video dozens and dozens of and it leaves me speechless and on the edge of my seat every time. This is just artwork. NF is amazing, musical genius. I'm glad that you did this video I knew that it would blow you away.
So much respect for you & your insights as a filmmaker and not only that...but also for breaking some things down for us Nate Fans who don't know much about the category. NF makes both movies and music videos at this point. Just found your content today and you've earned my subscription!.
i honestly do not know how i havent heard of this guy?!! his music and videos are nothing short of being a masterpiece!! i now must binge all of his music lol!!
I couldn’t wait to see your jaw drop when you realized it was the boyfriend! Such a brilliant story and as always fantastic cinematography. NF is on a whole other level when it comes to Music Video production!
Probably repeating what everyone else said, But your reactions are very fun to watch. They add those elements that allow us to get even more out of this music video. I appreciate the film maker view as it just show cases NF and his great teams work. Im so looking forward to more NF. He supposedly is filming a new video for new music. So i can't wait as I know his creativity is going to be there thx
I love the technical insight you bring in these reactions. For example talking about the white balance in this one or when you talked about what lenses they were using or what they were doing with the fps. Makes it a very interesting and unique reaction video
Would love to see you react to "NF - How Could You Leave Us" It's a super sad song about things that actually happened to him in his life. The focus is definitely more on the lyrics than the video, but video is icing on the cake.
Your reaction to this is exactly the kind of reaction i want from everyone i play this song to for the first time. I mean I wasn't even watching the video but every single emotion and chill came through perfectly when i first heard, and when the gun ....... and there's that long pause, i literally felt my heart skip more beats. No musician moves my emotions up and down the way NF does, and I'm glad to see more people appreciate his storytelling ability.
great reaction, i remember showing as many people as i could this music video, being such a brilliant vision id love to see you break down some of your own work, give some insight on your intents and visions while on a set with a whole crew
Eu amo todos os vídeos dele, amo como ele dubla bem, como a qualidade sonora e visual é impecável e como ele interpreta e lida maravilhosamente com a câmera
I appreciate you doing this one. It's great to see a perspective from someone in the film industry. Thank you for a wonderful reaction! His storytelling ability is on another level compared to most musicians. 🔥🖤
Love your videos! Just started watching recently but your videos are very informative, I’ve learned a lot! I appreciate the extra information feel like I’m in film school for free haha
NF is not only a musician, hes a story teller, and a good one at that
absolutely.
An Artist!
Singer as well, in some songs
He’s a true artist in every sense of the word.
This..... Song I saw first with this video.... I just... >_> I can't. I'm getting another panic attack...
NF puts a lot of effort and work on his music videos. Thank you for recognizing his work!
such incredible work!
lol
olha quem éee
Tommee Proffit goes hard on the production every time.
Ur welcome
"it's like Hans Zimmer wrote this"
It's a great honour if someone compliment your work like this
ooooo it'd be amazing if he get a movie featuring Hans zimmer and NF... THAT'LL BE AMAZING
I remember watching this music video for the first time. Chills the entire time. NF is one of the best rappers/storytellers out there.
incredible stuff..
@@jonathanhiller_ you will also like the cinematography in The Search video. It's breathtaking!
He is incredibile.
@@jonathanhiller_ Jon if you like rap/story telling check out Ren, Is an Artist from UK. You will enjoy.
I was on a drive when the album dropped so I was just listening to it when this song came on. I got about 45 seconds in before I pulled over and looked it up to see if there was a music video haha! Best decision ever!
he turned a half hour mundane existential struggle into a 4 minute song that feels like both a lifetime and a nanosecond in time
👌👌👌
I watched this when it debuted. I has no idea what I was in for, just excited to hear a new song. I was so engrossed in the story and the video that I still recall not even realizing how long the video was. When it finished I was just in awe.

ive watched this actual countless times and not a single time was i bored from rewatching
Everything NF does is so cinematic and enthralling... I've been a massive fan of his for years.. I always said if he decides to give up the music... I would love to see him as a director..
so much so
There's a line he says in I believe 'The Search' where it goes, "Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, its beautiful. Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos"
@@sideswipe8882 Exactly... His take on life and the complexity in which he delivers his story is amazing.. Story telling and self reflection. Amazing, beautiful and heartbreaking at times.
its bc his producer tommee writes predominantly cinematic trailer songs
He won’t ever be in hollywood( clouds)
I still get chills from this song even though I heard a 10's of times
👌👌👌
Something amazing about this song is that I first listened to it without the video, so the lyrics and his way of singing it are so on point that I could visualize the whole thing in my mind. But then, I watched the video, and it was everything I had pictured and more
so good.. amazing when the visuals match what’s in your mind
I too, with this song, first heard the track then I finally watched the video. What I pictured in my head was on point to what the video showed.. Well done NF & crew!
I so agree
Such a crazy video, showcasing NFs story telling and overall vision.

I was just thinking that, @jonathanhiller can you do a review of that music video?
NF is great with building layers and telling a awesome story. He not only touches those with his music but other skillsets that play in unison to his passions. Sooo Good.
👌👌👌👌
I'm a huge fan of NF and it always makes me happy to see it when other people enjoy his content
NF's story and every other song is a MASTERPIECE!
👌👌👌
The climax and resolution of this story make me cry uncontrollably every time. It's so incredibly done. And shouts to the actors!
